Never use Hydroeyes 0.1% Eye Drop if the seal is broken before you use it for the first time. Wash your hands before using it and shake the bottle well before each use.

Keep using it as prescribed.

The most common side effects of this medicine are blurred vision and burning sensations in the eyes. If your vision is blurred or you have other changes in sight for a time, do not drive until your vision is clear. This is usually a short-term side effect, inform your doctor if it bothers you.

It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way it works. Talk to your doctor before using Hydroeyes 0.1% Eye Drop if you have used a similar medicine before and had an allergic reaction. Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
